Part 3
After moving to the sink, each with a dish in hand, Lexia-san gave the signal for the contest to begin.
I wasnt an expert in cooking, but I know how to wash dishes. All I have to do now is to strike with my hands!
Using all of her spiritual power, Meiko made the dishes float in the air one after another, grabbed them before they fell, cleaned them one by one, and laid them out in the blink of an eye.
A-amazing I havent mastered how to handle spiritual power yet, but Meiko, who has spent so many years with spiritual power, can handle it at will as if it were her own limbs
Not bad. But I wont lose to you either!
Luna smiles wryly in the face of Meikos strange technique.
At that moment, she threw a plate into the air, just like Meiko. However, the plate did not fall but was fixed in the air.
T-thats
I see; the plates are being held in place by Lunas strings.
While everyone was amazed at the sight of so many plates floating in the air, Lexia-san gave a calm commentary. W-whats this strange situation
Thats not all [Streamline]!
Then suddenly, bubbles began to adhere to the plates that had been fixed in mid-air, and they moved dexterously and began to wash the plates!
W-what in the world is going on?
T-that! Thats the advanced skill of washing many dishes at the same time by attaching bubbles to different strings and manipulating them!
Lexia-san?
For some reason, Lexia-sans live commentary just wouldnt stop.
Fufufu Of course, unlike the strings I usually use, I use a material that is gentle to dishes and is specially designed for dish-washing.
I-is there such a thing as a dish-washing-specific string?
The world of strings is too big.
I could only twitch my cheeks at Lunas words.
Thus, while Luna and Meiko were engaged in a fierce battle, Yuti is
Haah!
Like the two of them, she tossed the dishes into the air and, using her precognition, accurately washes them in the order in which they fall.
And when she finished washing each and every plate
[Comet]!
She threw the dishes at the drainer rack.
Yuti threw the dishes precisely at the draining rack one after the other. After throwing all the dishes, Yuti finished washing the dishes before the two of them.
Finished. I win.
Um Yuti?
While Yuti was taking a break from washing the dishes, I called out to her.
? Whats wrong?
The dishes are broken
Ah
Naturally, there was no special processing on the draining rack, and all the dishes thrown in were broken.
Seeing this, Yuti froze and turned a fearful glance in my direction.
Afraid. Yuuya, are you angry?
N-no, its not like that, but for the time being, lets not throw things unless youre in battle. Its dangerous if it hits someone
Affirmative. Ill be careful
I didnt say anything more to the frustrated Yuti. It was unfortunate that the plates broke, but I was relieved that no one was hurt.
Thus, despite a little trouble, the matter was finally settled.
I-Im done!
It was Meiko who finished washing the dishes first.
Kuh! I was so close too!
Next to her, Luna, who finished washing the dishes by a really close margin, looked frustrated.
When I checked the dishes that had been washed, I found that they had both washed them properly without leaving a single stain, and I had nothing to complain about.
Thats too bad for you, Luna!
I wont lose the next time.
I-Ill be very committed too.
Luna and Meiko shook hands with each other after saying this.
Seeing the two of them, Lexia-san nodded in satisfaction.
It has been decided that Meiko is an excellent maid! So from now on, please take care of me, Meiko!
Yes, it is my pleasure too!
A-ahahaha
After all that had happened, Meiko was safely accepted into the house.
In the real world, Yuuya has returned from the underworld.
In the other world, Iris and Odis were visiting Usagi.
After the incident in the heavenly realm, the three realized that they were still lacking in their own abilities from their experience of fighting observers and the false god, so they had each been working hard on their training.
Usagi!
(Iris? And Odis, too what in the world has happened?)
Usagi tilted his head when Iris and Odis came to visit, even though they had been training by themselves in different parts of the world.
Iris also opened her mouth, looking somewhat bewildered.
Actually we received an invitation.
(Invitation? What is)
[Heavenly Sacred Festival].
(!)
Usagi was surprised at the unexpected word.
A festival of the Holy held once every few years Well, its a kind of fighting tournament
(Why? It hasnt been that long since Iris won the last one, has it?)
Thats why were confused.
As Usagi had said, Iris had won the title of the strongest among the Holy by winning this [Heavenly Sacred Festival], where all the Holy gathered to compete with each other in a contest of their own martial prowess.
However, due to the nature of the Holy, this tournament could not be easily held repeatedly.
It was obviously strange to receive an invitation to hold the tournament so soon after the last one.
(In the first place Who started the [Heavenly Sacred Festival] this time?)
It was the Katana Saint. The Katana Saint Shu Zakuren.
(That guy, huh?)
Usagi frowned as he pictured a mans face in his mind.
(I cant read what hes been thinking for a long time. I dont like that.)
Yeah hes always got a faint smile on his face What in the world hes thinking we were wondering about that as well
(Well, thats alright. Lets put aside for the moment the fact that he has announced the holding of the [Heavenly Sacred Festival]. But more importantly, will the Holy gather?)
What Usagi was thinking about was whether or not the Holy would be able to gather properly.
Because of their role, the Holy are not in a position to move so easily.
Some of them had been invited to the ceremony as important figures in the country, and there had been various difficulties in holding the [Heavenly Sacred Festival].
Then, Odis answered with a difficult expression on his face.
Regarding that it seems that all the members will gather.
(What? You mean that guy was able to convince all the Holy to come?)
That is what I mean.
Usagi was surprised again by Odiss unexpected words.
What in the world is going on among the Holy?
They had no idea what was happening while they were practicing.
Whatever it is, the only way to find out for sure whats going on is to participate, right?
(Yes, thats right. In addition, Ive just finished my training. Its not a bad idea to test my skills once in a while at that.)
Having decided to participate in the [Heavenly Sacred Festival] for the time being, Usagi smiled ferociously.
A few days have passed since Meiko came to my house.
Since she is now living with us in my house, I asked her if she would like to attend school too
Thank you for your concern. But it is enough for me to stay in this house. Besides, I will take good care of this house while Master is away.
And so, she was now staying at home with Night and the others.
In fact, it seemed to be fun for Meiko, and I didnt have anything more to say to her.
Lexia-san and the others seemed a little disappointed But I wanted to let Meiko do what she wanted to do. If she wanted to stay at home, thats fine.
And also, because of the way she was, it seemed that Meiko didnt age with her appearance, so if she wanted to go to school later, then she could think about it then.
So, after returning from the underworld, I was able to spend relatively peaceful days.
And today, my classes at school ended without incident, and I was about to go home, when.
Tenjou-kun!
Ki-Kitaraku-senpai?
The door to the classroom was opened vigorously, and from there, the student council president of this school, Kitaraku-senpai, appeared.
When everyone in the class was surprised by the sudden situation, Kitaraku-senpai came to me, paying no attention to the surroundings.
Tenjou-kun, listen to me!
W-what is it?
The School Idol Projects stage has been decided!
..Eh?
For a moment, I couldnt understand the meaning of Kitaraku-senpais words.
W-what did he just say? The School Idol Projects stage has been decided!?
Eeehhh!? I-isnt that too soon?
It was understandable that I was surprised. After all, I had only just heard about School Idol a short while ago.
Well, I visited the president of Star Productions the other day! We talked about a lot of things there, and the stage was decided right away!
When did that happen? Even if thats the case, I think everything happened too fast!
Kitaraku-senpai, not caring about my reaction, laughed it off.
Hahahaha! What are you saying? When I get an idea, I act on it! Thats my good point!
That may be so, but! In the first place idol stage, what about the songs and choreography!
I understood that the stage had been decided. But nothing has been prepared for the stage.
Then, Kitaraku-senpai grinned.
Dont worry. Ive got that all prepared too! By the way, I asked Kanade Utamori-san, who came to the last school festival, to write the song, and the choreography was done by a very famous choreographer who is the pride of Star Productions!
Eeehhh!?
T-thats a lot of information!
Ive also prepared a place for you to practice for the stage, so from today, you can start practicing there right away!
Oh, no, wait!
Kitaraku-senpai ended the conversation almost unilaterally and left happily.
I was appalled at the sight of him.
And thus, the preparation for the school idol stage started without me understanding the reason.
After the class buzz subsided, I quickly set to work to prepare for the stage.
Then, Ryo and Shingo-kun, who apparently were not in the classroom at the time of the earlier commotion, came up to me and started to talk.
Yuuya. Wanna go play?
T-there is a new game center near here. Do you want to join us?
Ah Im sorry. The school idol project started today, so
I-I see that youve already started.
Shingo-kuns eyes widened at my words. That surprised me too, you know
I see then it cant be helped. Akira also seemed busy, so well do it another time
Huh? Is that so?
Y-yeah. But Akira always seems to be busy
Thats true if you ask me. Ive hardly ever hung out with him after school or anything
Heh Shingo-kun and Ryo had not had much time to play with Akira, either.
What is he doing, that Akira? Is there some reason why he cant play with his friends?
With these thoughts in mind, I parted from them and hurried to the room prepared by Kitaraku-senpai.
